Ear Infection Symptoms
There are various types of ear infections, each of which produces its own set of symptoms. The most common kind is a middle ear infection (also known as “acute otitis media”), which occurs when a virus or bacterium infects the space behind the eardrum. If you have a middle ear infection, you may experience:
- Pain within the infected ear (this may worsen whenever you lie down)
- Hearing difficulties
- Fluid draining from the infected ear
Do You Need Professional Ear Infection Treatment?
If you’re experiencing the signs of an ear infection, you may be wondering whether you need to visit a provider for treatment. Many middle ear infections resolve on their own, without the need for medical intervention. However, you should consult with a professional if:
- You’re still dealing with symptoms after 24 hours
- You’re experiencing severe ear pain
- There is blood, pus, or another fluid draining from your ear
- A child younger than six months old is experiencing symptoms
